Investor Relations and Marketing

Company Overview

Do you want to help entrepreneurs scale the next generation of high-impact unicorns? Then join us at Capital Department , a leading advisory firm helping startups democratize access to capital.

Capital Department is on a mission to open private markets to everyone, having helped founders raise $250M+ to date. As our Investor Relations and Marketing lead, you will partner directly with startup CEOs to navigate the complexities of raising capital through Reg CF and Reg D frameworks.

We’re an ambitious team of professionals who have worked with VC-backed startups and Fortune 500 companies. We are graduates of Cornell, Oxford, Stanford, Georgetown, and UCLA, and our work has been featured in Forbes, PBS, The New York Times, The Financial Times, and Fast Company.

The Role

In close partnership with founders and the Capital Department leadership team, you will focus on the strategic promotion, campaign communication, and operational management of investor pools:

• Own the Investor Journey: Lead the end-to-end campaign and IR strategy, from crafting the initial marketing narrative to managing post-launch investor communications.
• Operationalize the Marketing Funnel: Build, manage, and optimize investor acquisition pipelines. You will run multi-channel campaigns (email, social, digital) and analyze conversion metrics to ensure investment rounds are gaining momentum.
• Founder Advisory: Act as a strategic partner to world-class CEOs, guiding them through the nuances of public-facing capital raises and promotional strategies.
• Narrative & Growth Content: Write highly persuasive copy for investor decks, ad creatives, email funnels, and pitch materials. You know how to turn complex business models into high-converting campaigns.
• Platform & Community Promotion: Oversee relationships with Reg CF/Reg D platforms and design targeted campaigns to drive retail and accredited investor engagement.

What are we looking for?

We value startup grit, strategic thinking, and a high-performance background. We are looking for candidates who can operate at the level our visionary founders expect.

• Startup DNA: 5+ years of experience in the startup ecosystem (high-growth companies, VC firms, or as a founder). You thrive in fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environments.
• The Growth & IR Mindset: Experience in Growth Marketing, Investor Relations, or Product Marketing where you managed multi-channel campaigns, lead generation, and high-stakes stakeholder communications.
• Exceptional Communication: You possess executive presence. You can lead a call with a CEO in the morning and write a technical investor update or campaign email in the afternoon.
• Operational Rigor: You are meticulously organized. You enjoy building systems (Asana, HubSpot, etc.) to ensure no lead or campaign detail falls through the cracks.
• Copywriting & Creative Pro: You have a sharp eye for design, a gift for persuasive copy, and experience building marketing assets. You can take a messy founder vision and turn it into high-converting investor collateral.

Tech Toolkit

You should be "tech-native" and comfortable with:

• Collaboration: Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, Asana.
• Design/Content: Familiarity with Canva, Figma, or similar tools to oversee creative assets.
• Automation: Experience with CRM or Email Marketing tools (e.g., Klaviyo, HubSpot) and AI-productivity tools (e.g., Claude/ChatGPT).

Why join us?

• High Impact: You will be the primary engine behind the success of multiple high-growth startups.
• Network: Build a powerful personal brand within the venture capital and startup landscape.
• Culture: Work with an ambitious, remote-first team that values autonomy and excellence.
